How to model buccaneer DPM?

A regular barrage has a cast time of 1830 ms. A perfectly timed barrel-cancelled barrage takes about 1233 ms (probably not realistic to replicate consistently).

Barrage + DS = 2910 ms
Barrel-Cancelled Barrage + DS = 2313 ms

If barrel cancelling, the strongest follow-up to barrage if uncharged is DU + FF (1350 ms), and orb + drain (1380 ms) if charged. If you fiddle with your bubble and do some right-clicking management of it, you can technically ensure that you'll almost always be charged outside of ST, though that of course may or may not come at some cost to your ST dpm efficiency.

I don't understand it, what does barrel canceling actually do?

Do Buccaneers get barrel buffs or something on certain abilities?

Oak Barrel says
This skill will allow you to safely navigate your way through monsters without being recognized by them...by donning an Oak Barrel. Some clever monsters may be able to tell, though, so be careful. If you are lying down, it's literally impossible to tell the difference!

 

Sorry I can't be of more help since I'm not sure either. What I did when I wasn't certain is throw in how I think it's calculated and compare it to a damage range given from the dpm compilation. If the number that comes out of it is similar I just assume I did it right. Hopefully this helps

 

The first four lines of barrage each do 280%, with the 5th line doing double the previous (i.e. 560%) and the 6th line doing double that of the 5th (i.e. 1120%).

And yeah, SE should affect barrage normally by just adding % damage to each line. The doubling for the last two lines seems to happen before applying the SE bonus based off of what I've seen, but not 100% sure.

 

essentially, using oak barrel right after a barrage (macro is a good way to do this) ends the animation sooner than intended while still doing the damage, so you can do shit out of barrage sooner and overall speed up the barrage combo process. in terms of numbers, it lowers the ms by a good chunk, as you can see in gurk's numbers

 

Dang, animation canceling be in old school maplestory too. Thats awesome.

 

Is this spreadsheet going to be public information? I've been wanting to get a look into it.

 

Oh god that's one scary way to put it.... Good luck in the process though!
